  Speaker 1: great name.
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: All aboard!
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: Good Thursday morning, Charlotte. Welcome aboard.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: We got ourselves yet another Hornets regular season opener dub,
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: ladies and gentlemen, to discuss. That is all we do
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: on opening night.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I'm aroused. Thank you, Walker. That's one of my top
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: five favorite drops right now. Settle down, walk. Settle down, baby.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: We've got Panther stuff to talk about, a very key injury.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: to the Carolina Panthers. We'll tell you who we're not
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: going to have this week. If you have not heard
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield, what's the status on him? The update from Tampa.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: We'll get you all that stuff as well. But a
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: lot of Hornets conversation today on this radio show. So
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: we're looking forward to to doing that. It wasn't, you know,
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: we said this about the Panthers after Sunday. Wasn't necessarily
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: the prettiest dub, but the Hornets got it done and
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: got the win. And a game that felt like, man,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: you got to get this one. Got to get this one,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: even with three key guys out. So we will talk
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: about it. The Bone Man's in the house. The Fit
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Dog in the house as well. As we get you
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: ready here on this.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know. What are we getting you ready for?
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I don't know. Getting you ready to be ready. I
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: said we're getting you ready. We're going to try to
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: entertain you. Maybe a little information. Good Thursday night football tonight.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Getting ready for that. Two local teams. There you go.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: That's it. Really good NFL matchup tonight. Bears-Pats. Looking forward
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: to seeing that young quarterback battle and maybe how we
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: compare those guys to Bryce Young a little bit. Good morning, Mac.
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: It feels good to be here on a victory Thursday
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: edition of the Mac and Bond radio program.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: All we do is win, baby. I mean, all this winning.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: 92 could speak to it. All this winning, 92.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: All I do is win, win, win, no matter what.
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: Even in 2020, I still declare I won it.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: They stole it. Illegal votes, especially in Arizona. Yesterday, not
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: the actual 92, but Finney's 92 was in my head yesterday,
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: and I said something to myself at home. I went, frankly?
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: And I was like, oh, my God, Finney's now infiltrated
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the 92. I went, frankly?
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: Frankly, Bone, if you don't think about me, you're doing
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: life wrong.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: 92, you ever think about yourself? Never.
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: All I think about is this great, beautiful country.
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: There we go. That includes the Hornets, the hottest opening
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: night team in recent memory.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Can't stop us on opening night. Six in a row.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Eight of the last 11, they have won on opening night.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: It helps when three of the last five are against
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: the Nets. I do like the way the NBA hooks
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: us the Nets up on opening night. We get the
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Nets at the right time. And it wasn't easy, man.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: It wasn't easy. I will say this. Luckily for the Hornets,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: they had a bunch of dudes that could score. They
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: had very good balance. The Nets had basically two dudes
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: that were capable of making shots last night. And once
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: they stopped, once Porter stopped hitting shots with Seon James
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: draped on him, the Hornets were able to pull away easily.
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: and win this game. I thought their defense in the
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: fourth quarter, Bone, was really good. Moussa had multiple plays
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: where he tipped the ball away and Grayson Allen got it.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: I thought plays like that were big because it wasn't
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: the prettiest game. They only shot 31% from three last night.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: Brandon Miller, I thought this dude was going to go
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: off for 40 at one point, Bone.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: I started looking on the apps. I started looking at
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: the Caesars numbers. Hey, can you bend 30, 35, 40?
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: And then as soon as I looked, Mackey... Is that
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: what happened? I was wondering what happened to him. When
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: he got to 17, I started to look and think, man,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: what can you get if you just... put a couple
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: dollars on 40. He had one more point after he
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: opened up the app. He did.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: 17 points in the first 15 minutes of the game.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: And he started a little slow the first four or five,
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: but after that shalama bam, tomahawk over top of the
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: annoying Mo Wagner, he then just lit fire. Threes, getting
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: to his spot in the mid-range, floater on the drive,
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, yes, this is the evolution. And then
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: after that, it did feel like the Nets adjusted and realized,
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, the guy that's getting 209 million, we might
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: need to do something to him. It felt like when
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: Brandon would get the ball and they would try to
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: set ball screens for him, it felt like those ball
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: screens would be doubled and they were making him give
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: it up. Felt like they upped the aggression.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: A little bit.
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: There was a possession bone where Julius Randall, you could
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: tell it's early in the season when Julius Randall's committed
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: to defense because he's liking his teammates because, because he
• 5:12
  Speaker 2: deed up Brandon physically and Brandon had remembered.
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you remember that on the wing
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: where he just had to throw a three up like
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: a prayer falling away. Like, And I was like, I
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: know Brandon put on nine pounds and nine pounds of
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: muscle is what they're saying, but he struggled with the physicality.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: So it was a mixed bag on Brandon. But I
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: think the cool thing was, Bone, even without two of
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: your three best offensive players, they still found a way
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: to have scoring balance, to have other guys score when
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Brandon only had one point over the last X amount
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: of minutes in the game. The balance offensively was big.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: No, it was. And as a wise man once said,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: now I'm having trouble remembering who it was. If it was,
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: it might've been Dr. Seuss or Yogi Bear or Jim Salania.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: I forget who, but a win is a win is
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: a win. That's a win. I think that might have
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: been Selenia. A win is a win. That's a win.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: That's a win. Something of that nature. Hey, in this conference,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: in this league, without two starters and a key guy
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: in Grant Williams, you got your win. You kind of knew,
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: as we talked about last night, Mac, on the highly
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: reviewed Nets Hornets pregame show here on Sports Radio 92.7.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: You're not going to get a lot of teams in
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: this league right now, especially this early. when all the
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: rosters are relatively full. Teams that are taking nights off
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: because of the new tanking rules. Everybody, even the bad teams,
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: even the Nets, have a little bit of hope. They
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: have Porter, they have Randall, they've added Mike L. Brown.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: They're not going to be good, but they still believe
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: early in the season that they can be a factor.
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: So I didn't think the Nets were going to be
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: a pushover. I don't think any teams in the Eastern
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Conference are going to be pushovers. So without two starters
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: to get a win is big. And I can't wait
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: to get Kobe and Khan back as the starters because
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: that veteran backcourt off the bench of Schroeder and Grayson
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: Allen is going to be unbelievable because you have guys
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: with starting experience, playoff experience. That's going to be one
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: of the better backup backcourt units we've had in a
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: while just based off what those guys can do on
• 7:15
  Speaker 1: the second unit. They were great last night on the
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: first unit. Yeah, they combined for 40 points. Or Schroeder
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: was out and came off the bench.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Combined for 40 points last night, and they were big
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: in the second half when Brandon wasn't making shots. Brandon
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: was 0-7 in the second half. But how many times
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: did Dennis Schroeder drive to the basket? In large part, Bone,
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: because the Nets were plastering the shooters. and this is
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: what shooters on the outside, this is what spacing does.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: It allows you to go one-on-one, and Schroeder is not
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: really going to contribute a ton to great three-point shooting
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: on this team this year, Bone, but he attacked the basket.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: I mean, that little one hand where he takes it
• 7:53
  Speaker 2: right off the dribble with the right hand, I mean,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: that's tough to stop.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: He had 19 points, six assists. Schroeder does a great
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: job of getting in front of the guys where the
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: defense is having– it's such a veteran move where if
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: you watch him, he's always– When he comes up the court,
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: he kind of like shields himself a little bit from
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: the defender.
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: Just savvy, man. Just a savvy vet, you know, not spectacular,
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: but savvy. Grayson Allen, 21 points, hit five threes. And
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: when the offense was cold mid-third quarter, I'm sitting there
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: saying it's time for Grayson Allen. We need his offense
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: off the bench. And he came right in and hit
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: two threes last night. I mean, you look at the
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: pickups of Jeff Peterson.
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: We just gave you two. And then Nas Reed.
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: Having an amazing all-around game with 20 points, 11 rebounds,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: and 7 assists. And I have to tell you, I
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: know that ties his career high. I'm not going to
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: act like he does 7 assists every night. But his
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: passing ability, his ability to put it on the floor
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: a few times and dish, he did that twice in
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: the first half.
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he won the Moose a little, a little whoop.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Little scoot to Musa.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: Had multiple drives and dishes to Musa, who was dunking
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: everything inside. They had five players bone with 17 points
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: or more last night. And that's huge when you consider
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: you don't have two of your three best scores.
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: That is depth balance. That is, man. Hello? Yeah, Walker. Yeah,
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: we're going to talk about Musa.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Okay, thanks. That was Walker Mayle here on my phone.
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: I'm aroused. Musa got some run. It was a full
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: stat line by Musa last night. 17 points, 8 rebounds,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: 5 offensive rebounds, 3 assists, and 5 steals. Musa was
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: doing a little bit of everything last night, man. what
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: uh what uh that's the thing too when we talk
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: about the additions to this team and the things that
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: jeff peterson has done don't overlook that that was not
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: exactly mac a surefire pickup when they got him they
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: have developed him they saw something in him make sure
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: we get proper respect to this front office for also
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: who musa is too by.
• 9:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah absolutely there's no doubt about it um uh and
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: royce o'neill hit a couple of threes off the bench
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: um it was interesting we'll talk about the rotation i'm
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: sure because we were all trying to figure out where,
• 10:01
  Speaker 2: you know, where the minutes go, especially with three guys out.
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: Liam McNeely got in the first half, but only for
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: three minutes. That was it for the I thought that
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: was notable. They went with Kalkbrenner as the backup big,
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: and I thought he was about ready to throw down
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: on that annoying dude, Clowney. Keyword clown. That dude had run-ins, Bone,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: with Miller. Reed and Kalkbrenner all in about a minute
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: 30 stretch last night in the second quarter.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: A lot of pain in the rear end. Even at
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: one point, Grayson Allen looked over like, this guy's out
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: of his freaking mind out here.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Grayson Allen said, you want me to trip him?
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: I'll get you. I got you for him. Even Mo
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Wagner was thinking, all right, I'm supposed to be the
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: most annoying member of this Nets team. That one play
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: that he had when he hooked, who did he hook,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: by the way? I forgot who was it. It was Kockbrenner.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: It was Kockbrenner on the hook. You're right. When you
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: grab a guy's shoulder like that and you pull down,
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: there's a reason that they're trying to outlaw that whole thing.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: That is very dangerous to pull a guy's shoulder out
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: of soccer. In fairness, Brandon did it to him right
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: before that. I almost feel like it was a retaliatory hook.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: In fairness, I ignored that. So anyway, we got a
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: lot of Hornets to talk about today. See you on
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: James shooting, by the way. That's a negative from last night.
• 11:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, he wasn't even close on some of those
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: last night. No, and it's disappointing because he was very
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: hot in the... in the preseason yeah so it was
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: a little bit uh disappointing listen the whole team i
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: mean brandon miller's three of 14 from three he just
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: got 209 million dollars a year number one reason he
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: shoot the basketball so it wasn't the prettiest for everybody
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: but again they banded together they found depth they defended
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: really well in the fourth quarter of this game and
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: they got out of there with a win missing three
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: key players and we'll see there was we'll see what
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: happens for friday night uh there was a video of
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: khan doing a workout with a trainer before the game
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: and he looked pretty damn good moving Yeah. Like it
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: looked like I don't want to Matt curse it, but
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: it looked like he ain't gonna be out very long.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: I agree completely. You know, the one where he's dribbling
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: the ball and they're throwing the tennis ball to him.
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Like that did not Murphy do. That did not
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: look like so.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: That didn't look like somebody who was laboring that badly.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: So we'll see if we get him back home opener
• 12:18
  Speaker 2: at the Hive tomorrow and they play three games in
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: four days. at the Hive starting tomorrow night.
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: First Hornets pregame show last night from home, Matt, because
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: the preseason ones I was... I was in the building here.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Murphy's not Mabel. He's loud. He barks. He doesn't understand
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: the whole radio thing. Mabel would just nap. How would
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: Murphy hold up with me talking on the pregame show
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: last night? My guy, not one single bark last night.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: How about that? There you go. Although he does kind
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: of whine and growl when I talk to him. Is
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: that how most people react to me? Yeah. What a size, right?
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: Come on, I'm making a point here. I feel like
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: that's a win for you, though.
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: I feel like you'll take wines and size over barking
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: constantly all pregame show. Kind of like I do, you
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: know what I mean? When you're trying to talk on
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: the air. So that's good that he didn't do that.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: LaMelo and the T-Wolves, if you're tracking that sort of thing,
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: went off on the heat last night. Blew out Giannis
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: in the heat last night. Ant-Man was the big story
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: with 45 points. LaMelo was on– LaMelo very happy after
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: the game. It was a good debut for those guys.
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: He was on with the Inside the NBA guys talking
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: about how he never changes a diaper, and that's not
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: his responsibility.
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: He had last night– great opening for him. He had–
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: One of the most egregious non-travel calls I've ever seen.
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: It went viral to where SportsCenter is tweeting about it
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: last night. Matt, he did one of his step backs
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: when he ends up on one foot three. One, two, three, four, five,
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: six step backs. He stepped all the way back. The
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: referee is watching him step back six times and no call.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: It was a step back, back, back, back, back, back, back.
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: Good to see the NBA refs are in regular season form,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: ignoring travels.
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: He almost stepped off the court into the actual streets
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: of South Beach. Oh, man.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: You mentioned it. Yeah, it is a pretty cool night
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: of football tonight. I kind of like having App State
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: and ECU on the same night. It's huge challenges for
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: both teams. App State has to play this vaunted 6-0
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: JMU team that everybody is looking at and wondering why.
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: Could they again make the playoff as the group of
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: five representative with yet a different coach? And that's going
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: to be a hell of a challenge for App State.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: And then you throw in the ECU game, too. It's
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: a similar challenge. I know Memphis had a rough one
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: last time out, but I would figure that the very
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: intense Charles Huff would have them ready to go tonight.
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: And I am begging Emery Williams and Blake Harrell is, too.
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: I heard it in the presser. But I am begging
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Emory Williams to try to actually throw the football more
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: than five yards downfield tonight. You don't have a chance
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: of beating– and that O-line better protect because Memphis can
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: get after you. But they don't have a chance, Bone,
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: if they can't push the ball downfield. Last week was absurd.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: I mean, I didn't know if I was watching Bo
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: Nix or Emory Williams. They both played the same game
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: last week.
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: ECU on the road as 10.5-point underdogs against a, as
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: you mentioned, angry– Memphis team, I would virtually say that
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: of the two matchups, App State probably has a better
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: chance it's at home, although that line has now moved
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: more in favor of James Madison. App is an 11.5-point
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: underdog at home. Mac, when is the last time you
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: looked up and App was an underdog at home by 11.5?
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: That's something that you don't really ever see for that.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: I don't know, Matt. We have to do some research
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: on that baby. They had Miami come in one time,
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: but that's been a while now. That was years ago.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: And that's when App was still relatively in that dangerous, oh,
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: could they pull something off mode. I would say, though,
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: I don't think ECU has any chance against Memphis. a
• 16:08
  Speaker 1: puncher's chance of App State, but I think both these
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: teams are in trouble tonight.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: JMU, I think, is the better team than Memphis, but
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: I think App, we saw it on the field earlier
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: this year. I think App is the better team. I'm
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: interested to see how they use what's going on with Singleton.
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: He was banged up last week. How much they use
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: Henry Hasselbeck and the quarterback runs. I thought Dow Loggins
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: was brilliant with that last week, especially when Singleton had
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: to go out and they had to really change the
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: offense and make it a quarterback run, heavy offense.
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: I think App State, I think they can put up
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: a fight tonight. I really do.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Dare I say, Bone, you tease that up. You take
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: App State and what, 17 and a half?
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: That's my advice, although I don't know. My second bit
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: of advice would be don't take gambling advice from me.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: My first bit of advice is tease it. Second bit
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: of advice, don't take advice from me. That's a fun night, though.
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: We said it, both the college games locally and then,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: you know, not every Thursday night game is something you
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: look forward to. But I think Bears Patriots seems like
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: that could be a very interesting, fun game tonight. That's
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: a fun one, no doubt. Those two young QBs.
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: And we do need to mention, and we'll get into
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: it more, we'll let you hear what Coach Canale said
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: about it. Jalen Phillips isn't playing this week. and one
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: of his backups, Thomas Inkoom, is not playing this week
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: as well, and it might be a couple of weeks
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: for Jalen Phillips. Joe Person asked Canales about it, and
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: he kind of hemmed and hawed on it. You'll hear
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: the whole conversation, but Joe Person's point is a good one.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: If he can't play Sunday with this hamstring injury, and
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: by the way, I'm sure he didn't help it by
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: being a warrior and going back in.
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: The other day, Bone? Yeah. Like, I'm sure, you know,
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: he showed.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: His heart, but I'm sure maybe that didn't necessarily help
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: this situation. But if they play just a few days
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: later in Green Bay, probably decent odds he can't play
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: in that one as well.
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: You know, that's a great that's a great point there
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: by Joe Pertz. We're also monitoring. I know we have
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: a game to go. We're also monitoring the whole Micah
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: Parsons situation to potentially for that game. By the way,
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: Mac App has not ever been a double digit home
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: underdog in their FPS history. And also, way prior to that,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: they were never that either because of their history in
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: the FCS. Did they not host Miami or am I crazy?
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: They did, but I don't think they were double-digit homeowners.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: Miami was still... Remember, Miami wasn't Miami of now, then. Yeah,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: that's true. So I'd have to go look. But I remember, yeah,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: that was probably closer. I'll look, but... Very interesting spot
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: tonight and not a normal spot for App State to
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: be in. When we come back, we got a lot
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: of football stuff, the latest on the Panthers, the Baker
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: Mayfield status update for Sunday, plus key injuries for State
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: and the Heels. Sports Radio, 92.7 WFNZ.
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, I think they've got Vitavia, you know,
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: obviously a great player, really fast secondary, guys that are grabby,
• 19:20
  Speaker 5: make good plays on the football. Of course, like I
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: say it every week, I got us, of course. But
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: it'll be a challenge. We're going to come in here
• 19:27
  Speaker 5: with some juice. But if we play our football, we'll
• 19:29
  Speaker 5: be all right.
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: There's Jalen Coker giving you a little intel, giving you
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: a little, not too much, but a little intel on
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: the Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense, which is unlike the offense
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: in Tampa, playing pretty damn well this year. Fourth in
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: the league in total defense. Matter of fact, Bone, for
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: the handful of people out there that have been texting us,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Bryce Young hadn't played any good defenses. They will face two.
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know why that's my impression of them, but two.
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: They will play two top ten defenses in the next
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: two weeks in Tampa Bay and Green Bay. And then
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: you can throw in the third defense that he's going
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: to face, which is Denver.
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: They are statistically.
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: Not great at 22nd in the league because of a
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: slow start, but everybody knows they got freaking talent out
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: the wazoo in Denver. So for people that have been saying,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: I want Bryce Young to face top defenses, I think
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: you're going to get that.
• 20:25
  Speaker 1: Over the next three weeks. I think it's going to
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: be a challenge for the offense. Yeah, that's a heck
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: of a defensive start for Denver. Green Bay without Micah Parsons,
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: who I mentioned in the first segment there. I wouldn't
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: have guessed that their defensive ranking would be that high,
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: but they've done a nice job. You think of offense
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: and Jordan Love and before, but I wouldn't have thought
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: of defense being ranked that high, but that's an interesting stat.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: It is definitely a stretch where it's going to be
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: a big part of the storyline.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: How does Bryce.
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: and the high-powered Panthers offense do against some of these
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: defenses that we're getting ready to face.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: We'll also find out on Tuesday. That's the day of
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: the week where they announce these things. We'll find out Tuesday,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: and I guess a while will go in, and the
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: Panthers probably would, of course, have to win here to
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: keep going with this. But we'll find out Tuesday if
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: that Broncos-Panthers game might get flexed to Sunday night football
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: from the 1 p.m.
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: Spot.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, people were asking us about that. Probably a good chance.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: I looked it up the other day, and there's a
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: Vegas Niners game, which I wonder, based off the markets,
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: would they go with that since Vegas is currently at. 500,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: the Niners' best team in football, maybe. But Panthers-Broncos could
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: very well be flexed. We'll see. To Sunday night, you're saying? Yeah.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: What is the Sunday night game that week? What's the one?
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: Because everybody's asking about it.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: I haven't checked to see which game are we thinking
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: they're flexing out of.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: It's weird because I looked at it about nine different times.
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Was it Tampa, Chicago? Tampa, Chicago. Okay, there you go.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: Now, they aren't flexing out of next week, the Eagles-
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Washington game, right?
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: They're staying with that one. I don't know if... America suffers.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: Some of the games, I guess, got protected so they
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: couldn't move them, but I have no idea why that
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: one did not. We'll see. Yet another sign, Bone.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: The 558 signs now that I'm an old coot. And
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: the latest one is, I do not want a primetime game.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: I have become that guy. I have become John Fox.
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: I have become our former coworker, Jim Salania. I now
• 22:27
  Speaker 2: simply just want to do a game at one o'clock
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: against the Broncos.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: I am very lame now. I really need one o'clock.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: I have tickets for that game. You're putting me out
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: on a Sunday night. Oh, boy, howdy.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Oh, so you're the same way. And you're 10 years
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: younger than me, so I don't feel so bad. I'm
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: supposed to be old and not want to be out late.
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: I try to avoid the Sunday nighters because of our schedule.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: If they win, if they beat Denver and I'm out
• 22:51
  Speaker 2: there Sunday night, how am I going to dance on
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: Monday and have the energy to do that? This is
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: what I'm asking about, Bone. This is what I'm saying.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: I'm glad I got company in my lameness.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Also, any concerns about me going to a game? My
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: record still is not very good. We voiced our concerns
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: months ago when you bought the tickets. It's done.
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: You know what I mean? Unless I can order somebody
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: out there to kidnap you and not let you go,
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: hold you hostage that day. I'm taking my baby to
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: the game.
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: Maybe she'll bring the good luck. Daddy got tickets.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: Maybe she will bring the good luck. All right, let's
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: talk about the injury situation. Let's start first with the Panthers.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: I mentioned it. Two guys we know aren't playing this
• 23:26
  Speaker 2: week are both edge rushers. Sounds like Nick Hampton, the
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: App State product, is going to get called up from
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: practice squad.
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: Thomas Inkoom.
• 23:32
  Speaker 2: I think the loss of Inkoom is obviously bigger bone
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: on special teams where he is a beast. But also,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: he was one of the guys who would probably pick
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: up more snaps because Jalen Phillips can't play. And now
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: they're both out. And this Jalen Phillips thing, you start
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: to get a little worried because of, first of all,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: we know how hamstring injuries go. He tried to play
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: on it last week, got hurt, and went back in
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: and tried to play on it again.
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: And here we are this week.
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: Plus, he has that injury history that I think all
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: has us a little concerned about him. Not really an
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: injury history of missing a ton of games with with
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: hammies or soft tissue or anything like that. Coach Kanellis yesterday,
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: a big part of his Q & A was about
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: this Jalen Phillips hamstring injury.
• 24:15
  Speaker 3: Jalen got that same hamstring and we got to take
• 24:18
  Speaker 3: care of that right now. So we're still going to
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: push it and evaluate him. But this is something we're
• 24:24
  Speaker 3: going to have to be smart with. Two weeks off
• 24:25
  Speaker 3: of the first injury and then he was able to
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: finish the game, which was kind of incredible for him
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: to be able to go back out there and do
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: his job. But The MRIs, the findings, this is something
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: that we're going to have to treat more intensively.
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: Too far ahead of it, but with next week being
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: a short.
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Week, do you perhaps just kind of plan on getting
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: Jalen back after.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: The Thursday night game? We'll see. He's going to want
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: to push it. We're going to be right there with him.
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: We're going to test him. We'll get him out there
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: and make sure that we get him out as strong
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: and as fit and healthy as possible. Because it's a
• 25:01
  Speaker 3: long season, you know, and if he's able to turn
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: it around and show up on Thursday night, great. For me,
• 25:06
  Speaker 3: for Dan, you know, it's our job. It's like we've
• 25:08
  Speaker 3: got to think about this game, and then we think about, okay,
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: what's the full window look like and how can we
• 25:14
  Speaker 3: get him out there the strongest.
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: Do you anticipate him not playing this week?
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: I do, yeah. I think I can fairly say that,
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: you know, and I know there's advantages to game plans, but,
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: you know, this is something that we need to address
• 25:25
  Speaker 3: and take care of.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: So that's early admission in the week. Usually he'll just
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: play the game for a while.
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: That's not a good sign for where Jalen Phillips is
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: currently at right now. And that's the big question about Phillips.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: It's the health. Eight games played in 23, four in 24.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Did play 17 last year in the split season between
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: the Eagles and Dolphins. But that is the question. Is
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: the health and durability of Jalen Phillips? So certainly not ideal.
• 25:54
  Speaker 1: And this is also where the previous injuries come into
• 25:57
  Speaker 1: play and where you really start to look at a
• 26:00
  Speaker 1: guy like Nick Skorton, not being in there. You thought
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: about Skorton and Phillips and now, you know, without both
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: guys for the immediate.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Top two edge rushers out for the, you know, for
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: now because of that Skorton thing. So it's not ideal
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: at all. And then you got your two corners out.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: So you lose maybe your best pass rusher, certainly one
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: of them. And then, and, and also in the run game,
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: you lose a ton of Tampa can run the football.
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: They've been running it.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: They haven't passed it well. They've been running the crap
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: out of it. So it's not ideal. You've got two
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: corners out and two pass rushers out? That's not ideal.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: In a matchup on Sunday, assuming that it will be Baker,
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: and I think like you that it probably is, where
• 26:38
  Speaker 1: edge containment against him is also vital. One of those
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: guys where he gets loose, you've got to try to
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: contain him a little bit. Well, both guys.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: Jalen Daniels will scramble even more than Baker.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: But yeah, Baker... Don't sleep on his scrambling ability. This
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: is not Tanner McKee back there as a statue. This
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: is a guy that we have to be careful with
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: or depending which guy it is. So Baker practiced yesterday.
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: They both practiced.
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: Todd Bowles basically said, we're going to see how he
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: comes along this week. You just said it. You and
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: I both think Baker's going to play. What does Coach
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: Canales think about that?
• 27:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we get thrown with different circumstances, you know, on
• 27:19
  Speaker 3: a weekly basis, it seems. But, you know, if I
• 27:21
  Speaker 3: know Baker and he's out there practicing, he's playing, you know,
• 27:24
  Speaker 3: and this is a guy that's going to try to
• 27:26
  Speaker 3: fight through things, going to try to get back out
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: there and help his team. He's a great teammate. He's tough.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: So I expect to see him out there.
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: My bad, Fiddy. So coach agrees with it. My bad, Fiddy.
• 27:35
  Speaker 1: We game plan during the break. There was a very
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: loud scoff behind me during that. Game plan during the break.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: And the game plan was to play Todd Bowles talking
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: about Baker and then Canales later. And I just completely
• 27:46
  Speaker 2: forgot the game plan that I came up with, Bone.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: And Fiddy just quickly. You heard those quick little fingers
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: back there moving on the button.
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: Scoffy Pippen was back back there. Were you scoffing, Finn?
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: I'm a loud scoff. You scoffing back there, baby? That's
• 27:58
  Speaker 1: my bad. That's my bad.
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: Just slightly because I was expecting you to go to
• 28:01
  Speaker 4: Todd Bowles, but Mac, you did the thing that an
• 28:04
  Speaker 4: NBA player never does.
• 28:05
  Speaker 1: What's that?
• 28:06
  Speaker 4: You took credit for your mistake. NBA players never think
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: they foul. They never think they do anything wrong. You
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: owned up to setting me up to fail. You know
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: what I appreciate?
• 28:14
  Speaker 2: We're two nights in, Bone, to the NBA season, and
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: during the break we're already complaining about their whining. I
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: was complaining about Luka's whining, which Yaxel Lindenberg somehow was
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: surprised by last night. He will do that every game
• 28:27
  Speaker 2: you ever play against him, Yaxel. But is Fitty not
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: happy with some of the guys unhappy with fouls? My computations, Bone,
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: over the years of watching basketball reveal that only 1.2%
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: of the fouls committed does the player actually think that
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: he committed a foul.
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: No, some guys have gone their entire career. LeBron has
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: not fouled anyone since the mid-90s. Matt, real quick on
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Dave Canales. I'm about 99% sure, and it's not shocking
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: based off the location, but I think I did see
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: Dave Canales running this morning right by a stoplight when
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: I came in this morning. Yeah. Any questions, Mac, you
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: might have in the future for Coach Canales? I think
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: if I happen to see him running, maybe I can
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: yell out the window and get some answers for him.
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: It's a trotting Thursday. I go out for a morning trot.
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: What if I stop him with questions? Hey, Coach, I
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: saw you jogging out here. That's early, man.
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: I mean, I know coaches will get to work early,
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: but that's early.
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: It was not far from the stadium, so I figured
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: coaching hours, probably him.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: Definitely could be. Definitely could be. If not, there's another hint.
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: Never saw Matt Rule out there running. Running his mouth.
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: That's the only thing that ran on him. Running to
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: the gas station to get fried chicken.
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: Oh, Finney.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: That's rich right there from Finney. All right, let's move along.
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: Due to time constraints, let's move along here from these shenanigans.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: So some more Panther news, Boney. You had Albert Reese
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: of the Panthers released the other day. He didn't make
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: it through waivers. The undrafted rookie tackle was claimed and
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: put on the active roster by Arizona, so he did
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: not make it through waivers. Also needs to be mentioned,
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: as far as Tampa goes, that Ibuka... Ibuka? um uh
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: uh you okay there gadecki uh they're one of their
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: offensive linemen irving mccollum uh running back corner roseboom all
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: did not practice yesterday so there's they have an illness
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: going through their locker room a bunch of guys sick
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: but a bunch of those guys injured too so those
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: are the guys we're watching some key players that might
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: not play for them this.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: Week or they're sick of losing We.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: Need to talk about Bones waving. You waving to your
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: adoring fans after that one, Bones?
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah. That was a good one.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Need to talk Freeling and Dillon, both full practice for
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: the Panthers yesterday. Bam Martin Scott, they opened a 21-day
• 30:50
  Speaker 2: window for him to return from IR. The Brady Christensen
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: one is interesting. Brady Christensen, it sounds like, and Mike
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: K was doing a good job kind of trying to
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: get to the bottom of this. It sounds like Brady
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: Christensen-Bone could play now, but they're good with their interior
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: O-line depth.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Okay. And they don't feel the need to bring him back. Interesting.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: Which was kind of interesting. Corey Bullock's one of the
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: key guys there. Torricelli Simpkins and then Sam Hecht. So
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: that's an interesting one. Also, that's another guy that just
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: can't ever seem to consistently be. I mean, you said
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: he might be healthy now, but that's another guy I
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: feel like we're always monitoring the status of.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: I like Brady Christensen. He seems like a good dude,
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: but we're always trying to figure out what injury or
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: is he out for the year. Brady Christensen, a guy
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: that body seems to betray him quite a bit.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: He's been banged up. Fit, let's do that cut. Let's
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: do the back and forth. I think Mike Kay's the
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: one involved in this. Let's let you all hear it.
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: It's the back and forth on Brady Christensen's situation.
• 31:56
  Speaker 5: Is there a reason why Brady Christensen hasn't been activated
• 31:59
  Speaker 5: or had.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: His 21-day window?
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: We're just evaluating it, and you've got to figure out
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: roster spots and all those things as well.
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: Would it be safe to say that you were encouraged
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: by your guard and center depth?
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: Yes, those guys are doing a great job. Corey, Selly, Simpkins,
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: Sam Heck, those guys, the depth players in the interior, and,
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: of course, D. Lou and Luke and Rob really playing
• 32:22
  Speaker 3: at a winning level. So hopefully there will be an opportunity.
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: For Brady, at some point, I don't know when that
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: will show up. He's doing an excellent job. He's engaged.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: He's training his butt off. He'd be ready to go
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: if we needed him.
• 32:32
  Speaker 1: He'd be ready to go if we needed him. Okay, interesting.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: But we don't need him. That's definitely interesting. You got
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: the rare double scoff from Finney. What happened on this one?
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: You okay back there, man? Yeah, I'm good. He sounds like,
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: you know, when that noise back that a bus makes
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: when it stops. That noise that it makes. See, I
• 32:49
  Speaker 1: don't hear the noises. No, I hear them all back here.
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: You're right there in front of him. He is. You
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: hear all the fitting. He is scoffing galore back there.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: You in a mood today, Fit?
• 32:58
  Speaker 4: No, I was just still prepared to play the Todd
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: Bowles cut, so I had to go.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: Oh, no, that's now been moved. That's now been moved
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: to 8 o'clock, Vinny. Oh, okay. Keep up, baby. Keep up.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: We going triple scoff?
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: I thought Dave Canales saying Torricelli Simpkins was also kind
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: of a— he kind of snuck up on the name. Tori
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: Selly Simpkins. It was like Tori's the first name. Selly's
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: the middle name. Simpkins is the last name. It's a
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: great name to say. Charlotte's own Tori Selly Simpkins.
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: That's right. That's right.
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: All right, real quick, because I promised y'all injury information
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: on the college side about NC State and North Carolina.
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: NC State plays tomorrow night, late night, 1030. against Stanford.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: Please don't mess that game up, NC State. So their
• 33:39
  Speaker 2: injury situation, still a boatload of O-linemen out, including their center, Soles,
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: Caden Smith, other O-linemen out, Duke Scott still out, JoJo Trader,
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: one of the top wide receiving targets for C.J.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: Bailey.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: He's out in this game, too. So State's still pretty
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: damn banged up, even coming off the bye. For Carolina... They're.
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: Only six and a half point favorites in that game
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: right now.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: For Carolina Bone, Benjamin Hall, questionable, and Jordan Shipp.
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: Uh-oh.
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: And I don't even think, we don't even know what
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: part of the body's hurt. Do we fit on Shipp?
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: We just know he's questionable.
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: Yeah, not that I'm aware of. Was kind of taken
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: aback when I saw that on the injury report last night.
• 34:19
  Speaker 4: Also does make me wonder, Mac, maybe just some... gamesmanship
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: from Belichick at the college level.
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: You think Belichick's back to doing.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: Is this the college equivalent of Brady having a shoulder
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: injury every week on the injury report?
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: Like, the Ben Hall makes sense.
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: He left, I think, the very first drive of the
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: game for Carolina against Duke.
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: Only had two carries in the ballgame. But McGill was
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: money for y'all, though. He was tremendous.
• 34:39
  Speaker 4: There was nothing that I saw from Jordan Shipp that...
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: So I would suggest that he's injured. Unless, Mac, maybe
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: you hurt that shoulder ringing that bell too much, baby.
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: Ring your bell.
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: But I'm going to scoff now. Heal Syracuse in Chapel
• 34:53
  Speaker 2: Hill Saturday night. By the way, that bell, when you
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: don't have it, looks stupid. When you have it, it's nice.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: When you don't have it, it's a stupid bell people
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: ride around in. I love how quick they get that painted,
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: their shade of blue, whoever wins. That's immediate, man. That
• 35:05
  Speaker 2: takes about five seconds to paint that baby. I was
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: out there painting the other day. When we come back
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: here at the Mac and Bone Show, you're doing too much.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Who in sports is doing too much right now? On
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: Sports Radio, 92.7 WFNZ.
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: I eat too much. I drink too much. I want
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: too much.
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Little shout-out to the Charlotte Hornets.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: We will get back into the Hornets.
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: Six straight season opener dub. Extreme balance scoring. Not pretty necessarily,
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: but five guys with 17 points or more. We'll talk
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: about it all day long. We open the show with it.
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about it at 7 o'clock, so stay tuned
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: for that very much. Looking forward to talking bugs on
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: today's show and seeing, Bone, if the win has picked
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: up the vibes. Yesterday, A decent amount of our fans
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: just not vibing, not feeling it, still bummed out over
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: the Lomelo trade. So we'll see if last night helped
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: at all. I do understand it was the Nets, but
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: we were missing three key players. But right now, Bebop,
• 36:19
  Speaker 2: Bebop with an actual good text.
• 36:20
  Speaker 5: What?
• 36:21
  Speaker 1: That clowny kid for the Nets. You're doing too much, Bob.
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: That clowny kid for the Nets was doing too much.
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, he was trying to fight all comers, man.
• 36:30
  Speaker 2: I thought Charles Lee might get hooked by him at
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: some point.
• 36:34
  Speaker 1: He was in the Ultimate Fighter series, just one after
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: the other, entering the octagon. Oh, man.
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: All right, so let's do a little, you're doing too
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: much here, Bone. Who do you want to point to?
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: in the world that you think is doing a little
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: too much right now.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Well, we have an unbelievable one coming up here that
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: Mac has, the details on a story that we thought
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: was fake and ignored it for that reason. Turns out, no,
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: it's real, and it's spectacular. Mac, a person that's not spectacular,
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: that's always doing too much, is Enos Cantor Freedom, who
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: was attending Game 3 last night of the WNBA Finals.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: at State Farm Arena in Atlanta between the Dream and
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: the Valkyries. He then, Mac, was worried about his safety
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: because of the shirt that he was wearing and why
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: he was there. So they said, we'll put you in
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: a suite. And they put out a statement that Mr.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Freedom will be put in a suite for his safety concerns.
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: Then he denied the suite, and he's complaining that he
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: got kicked out of the WNBA Finals last night. What's
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: he afraid of?
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Do you think a WNBA player is going to beat
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: his ass or something? What's he worried about?
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: He's doing his troll routine and he wants to be
• 37:40
  Speaker 1: down there. And they said, you can't be down here.
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: Go to a suite. So now he's complaining he was
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: kicked out last night. He's not there for the love
• 37:46
  Speaker 1: of the game here. I mean, you talk about doing
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: too much. Go find something legit to do with your time.
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: And try to help him. They said, you can be here,
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: but not down there. Game his own personal suite. And
• 38:00
  Speaker 1: he said no, because that would be the— Because you
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: can't get attention down there. He didn't want to watch
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: the game.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: No, he wants to troll the players and mess with them,
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: and it's just annoying. His act is annoying as hell.
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: But anyway, so I stand by— I stand with you on
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: that one, Bone.
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: He was physically blocked by seven people from getting to
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: his seats by security. Can you just leave them alone?
• 38:22
  Speaker 1: It's weird.
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: Anyway, let's move along, Bone. Let's get to something that
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: everybody can enjoy here. Everybody can enjoy this one, except
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: the poor woman that was tied up for 30 to
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: 45 minutes.
• 38:33
  Speaker 1: A 64-year-old man....
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: In Richmond, Virginia, was arrested after reportedly duct taping his
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: wife to a chair in the basement so he can
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: watch a football game in peace. This happened on October 11th.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: We're trying to figure out what game he might have
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: been wanting to watch.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: That was Giants-Commanders tie day. Eagles Jags early. There was
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: a lot going on. Well, Richmond, I first thought was commanders. Yeah.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: So there's a very good chance he was locked in.
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: It might've been during the tense portion of overtime when
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: both teams didn't want to win the game. And he
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: might've just been like, woman, let me stick you in
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: this chair. So anyway, he now faces felony abduction and
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: misdemeanor domestic assault charges.
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: She is fine.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: So we can, you know, chuckle a little bit, although
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: I would not advise people to duct tape or tie
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: up their girlfriends or wives during football games. But she
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: is going to be OK. The dude does not come
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: across as a winner bone. And the thing about this
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: that cracks me up is his picture, his mugshot. Flounder
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: pointed this out to us. He looks almost exactly like
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: Frank Reich. It's uncanny.
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: It's I mean, it's. Oh, God. Yeah, that's the first
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: thing that comes to mind when you find someone says
• 39:50
  Speaker 1: Frank Reich. You're like, oh, my God. That might be Frank.
• 39:53
  Speaker 1: Greg Mack, I heard the first call the wife made
• 39:56
  Speaker 1: was to the guy that got duct taped to the
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: chair on the airplane a couple weeks ago. Remember that guy?
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: They got his head duct taped. They're now in their
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: own little support group.
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: I think, sir, I think you are doing a bit
• 40:08
  Speaker 2: too much, sir. You mentioned the Buck and Aikman thing, Bone.
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: Do we think someone is... Are they collectively doing too
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: much here? There's a lot going on here. There's so
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: much going on with this story. And so... multiple sources
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: are reporting on this including in touch weekly the entertainment
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: like tabloid magazine but we know we're getting some of
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: the facts about their like dispute and disagreement and feud
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: now keep in mind these guys are like the whole
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: thing when they went to espn together all the stories
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: were about these guys have become best friends yeah yeah
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: they've been broadcast partners since 2005 they are like legit
• 40:45
  Speaker 2: like brothers so that's where a little bit of the
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: kind of the intrigue comes from in this story. Yeah,
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: so they had this blow-up before the Bills-Rams game. It
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: apparently essentially boils down to Joe Buck got this big
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: new contract. Troy Aikman hasn't gotten his. I guess Joe
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: Buck didn't even tell Troy Aikman. The news got out,
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: and that's how Troy Aikman found out that his partner's back.
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: There's also reports that Buck is.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: having conversations about working with other broadcasters and not Troy,
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: behind Troy's back. And the reports that we saw yesterday
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: said this thing almost got physical. They almost got into
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: essentially a fistfight before the Monday Night Football game a
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: couple weeks back over this.
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: Can you go ahead and say Joe Buck would not
• 41:30
  Speaker 1: win that battle? He'd get his hair plugs knocked around
• 41:34
  Speaker 1: by Troy Igman there. There's no question you'd get your
• 41:36
  Speaker 1: ass kicked, Joe. Over the weekend, Mac, this ties into this.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: Phil Simms said on his podcast, or a podcast, that
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: ESPN has already made, and I'm paraphrasing slightly, already made
• 41:48
  Speaker 1: the decision on who they want to pair with Joe Buck.
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: But he didn't say who. We can try to figure
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: out between the lines who that might be. Greg Olson's
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: getting a lot of mentions. That might be what it is.
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know. He's getting a lot of mentions. But
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: that ties into where ESPN may have re-upped Joe Buck
• 42:05
  Speaker 1: right away with no intent to sign Troy Aikman. And
• 42:08
  Speaker 1: now on the Joe Buck side, they offered him $ 100 million.
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: That's kind of hard. I mean, yes, friendship is wonderful. But, Mac,
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: if Colin comes in here today and says, here's $ 100 million,
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: I got to tell you, I might take that money.
• 42:21
  Speaker 1: i do and i would expect you to do the
• 42:24
  Speaker 1: same thing i do feel like though like you do
• 42:27
  Speaker 1: owe it to your guy you would say like hey
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: man i'm signing this deal i don't know what's going
• 42:30
  Speaker 1: on with you but i have to sign this deal
• 42:33
  Speaker 1: you know what i mean like you got to kind
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: of do that but maybe he felt like because maybe
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: he knows i was talking about other brock you know
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: i mean maybe he feels like i've been kind of
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: weasley like more of the hurt from acheman not necessarily
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: that he signed but it's the behind the back. That's
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: got to be what it is.
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: One of the quotes in there, Aikman said some, I
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: forget what it was, but it said something to the
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: effect of like, you know what I mean?
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: You're doing this. Did you hear how this thing ended
• 42:56
  Speaker 1: by the way? Right before the game, Aikman tied up
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: Buck to a chair. He stayed there all football game.
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: They had to un-duck tape Joe Buck. Oh, my gosh. Now,
• 43:07
  Speaker 1: I read something. Am I doing too much here? Should
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: I just leave this out? Did I get, like, fooled?
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: It's so hard to figure out what is real and
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: what's not. Like, you and I didn't do the story
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: about the guy duct taping his wife to watch football
• 43:20
  Speaker 1: because we thought it was a fake. There's a whole
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: satire Facebook page on Florida Man, What the Blades. Yeah,
• 43:24
  Speaker 1: I thought it was one of those. I appreciated people
• 43:26
  Speaker 1: that send them. But every day there's a new one
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: where I can't I have to make sure that it's
• 43:30
  Speaker 1: a real story or not. So did you see anything
• 43:33
  Speaker 1: about this?
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: And can we confirm if this is real or not,
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: that ESPN executives are because you could tell Troy Aikman's
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: not happy with ESPN. And he has basically done interviews
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: where he says, I'm out of there. Like for whatever reason,
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: it seems like they are moving on. Um, and that's
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: probably part of his bitterness too. But, um, I read, uh,
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: something someone shared online. It was like an excerpt, but
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it was fake or real that
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: part of the divide between ESPN and Aikman is that
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: Troy Aikman did not do what his coworkers did and
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: did not, uh, send out a social media post pumping
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: up Pat McAfee's album. And I'm like, I can kind
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: of believe that that's true because ESPN seems to love
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: them some McAfee. But it seems a little crazy that
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: everybody would have to do that. But it did seem
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: like a lot of people came out of the woodwork
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: from ESPN to hype his album up on social.
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: Well, you wonder the people that Joe Buck is talking to,
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: is Pat McAfee one of them?
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: So does Aikman resent McAfee? And then he's like, I'm
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: not hyping up that stupid country album.
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean? Because Mac, not long, it
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: was either the.
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: Not long, one of the recent games. I don't know
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: if it was before or directly. I can't remember what.
• 44:46
  Speaker 1: Joe Buck said, there's Pat on the sidelines. There's old
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: Pat McAfee. He was waving by the set going to halftime.
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: He goes, hey, there's our friend Pat McAfee. You know,
• 44:55
  Speaker 1: Buck can be very, like, snarky. Yeah, and Eggman wanted
• 44:57
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with it. But Eggman didn't acknowledge it
• 44:59
  Speaker 1: at all, so I thought. So you think this could
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: be real? Is McAfee involved in this, whether, maybe not
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: him personally, but is his– presence involved in maybe Joe
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: Buck has embraced the fact that it might be McAfee or,
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: or he thinks that he wanted a three man booth
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: of some sort. I don't know. I think McAfee's presence.
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: So you think possibly could be involved.
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: So you think this could be real that like Troy
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: Aikman's like, I, I, I refuse to promote that.
• 45:25
  Speaker 1: I would say that there might, Aikman may not be
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: the biggest, I couldn't see it. But how, yeah. How
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: sad is that?
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: If it's true that ESPN essentially makes their employees go
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: on social media and and act like Pat McAfee's Garth Brooks.
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: Act like he's Eric Church or something. Like, is that
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: not lame as hell? Like, if Bone, if you were fit,
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: he did a lame-ass album.
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean?
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: And I got to go on there and act like
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: this thing's going to win 16 Grammys on social media?
• 45:50
  Speaker 1: That's kind of annoying. I thought you were made to
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: retweet the Heel Tough podcast. Yeah, I've done that. Why
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: haven't y'all asked in a while? I love retweeting it
• 45:58
  Speaker 1: for y'all. Because you quit doing it.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: No, you have to tell me. Our podcast is live.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: That's when I do it. Flounder used to tell me
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: all the time.
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: Okay. I'll get back on them. Yeah, get back on it, baby.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: Get back on it. I won't be like Troy Aikman.
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: Let me know when it's live. I'll send in James
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: from Maiden and Bill Wilmer. Picante has weighed in on
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: Joe Buck. Oh, good.
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: Very, very nuanced take. Joe Buck sucks with his stupid hair. Picante,
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: work on those picks, baby.
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: We got an announcement coming up about Picante here at
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: some point the next day or so about his future
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: is on the line here. Tomorrow it's happening, Picante. Me
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: versus you.
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: We've decided, since I am known for my horrible picks,
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: and Picante's been struggling lately in his pick segment, we've
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: decided to put him to the test. If he can't
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: beat me one-on-one this weekend on Pixbone, he loses the
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: segment forever. You don't deserve to have a Pix segment
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: if you can't beat my sorry prognosticating behind.
• 46:53
  Speaker 1: Bagel Guy asks if any Radio 1 employees don't retweet
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: and comment on the victory dances. Are they ostracized? Ostr— not ostr— Ostracized. Yeah.
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: Not ostracized. Ostr— yeah.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: He's a bagel guy. Those things are hard to— I
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: got buffered there for a second. Those things are hard
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: to watch sometimes, bagel guy says.
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: Really? We thought it was poetry in motion, baby. When
• 47:18
  Speaker 1: we come ostracized. That's the word I'm looking for there.
• 47:22
  Speaker 1: We come back. The Hornets win their opener for the
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: sixth time in a row. How did they do it?
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: And what are our main takeaways? Mack Bone, Fit Dog,
